About our care home hog roast in Temple Ewell
For residents, we carve thinly and serve on plates, which is easier for many people than a roll. Texture-modified meals should come from the home’s own kitchen. Typical bookings include themed days and thank-you meals for staff, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
At a rural home near Temple Ewell, access matters. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
